HISTORY: 1962 Code Section 23-601; 1952 Code Section 23-601; 1942 Code Section 2316; 1932 Code Section 2316; Civ. C. '22 Section 250; Civ. C. '12 Section 248; Civ. C. '02 Section 222; G. S. 126, 152; R. S. 180; 1882 (17) 1100; 1883 (18) 260; 1966 (54) 2243; 1984 Act No. 288, eff March 5, 1984; 1990 Act No. 352, Section 1, eff March 19, 1990.
Pursuant to the directive in 2014 Act No. 196, Section 8, at the direction of the Code Commissioner, references in this section to county election commissions or commissioners or county boards of voter registration were changed to the "Board of Voter Registration and Elections" and board members as appropriate.
The 1984 amendment changed the provisions so that managers and clerks of general elections are to receive per diem as provided in the annual state general appropriations act, rather than a specified rate of $10.00.
The 1990 amendment provided that commissioners receive as expenses an amount as appropriated annually by the General Assembly instead of two hundred dollars a year, and clarified the entitlement to mileage for a manager and clerk, limiting it to election-day mileage.
